- olivercameron 15y agoApple is notorious for doing very few acquisitions, I fail to see why Twitter, a company that is struggling to monetize, would be the exception. What leg up does Twitter give them and does it have the potential to generate billions in revenue? I have my doubts. See Apple's half-hearted attempt with Ping to show where their priorities lie. If Apple really wanted to do a social network, they could very easily have already, Twitter doesn't solve any problems for them.

- te_chris 15y agoTwitter investors would leap at the chance for their shares to be converted into AAPL - Apple, not so much.

- UtestMe 15y agoApple sees what Flipboard does, they have also bought Tweetie. I don't think buying Twitter is a very bright idea. Did Microsoft buy Nokia?
